Hello everybody!
Now everything is back to normal again after an active weekend full of
tapping and geartalk.
The weekend started friday evening around 7.00 pm. when Lennart and I
drove down to Nordborg Roklub in Dyvig with all of our gear. The tables
were moved and the coffee was brewed, now we just had to wait until the
stick-players would arrive.
One hour after Lennart and I arrive Michal Kaiser came with his red van
filled with gear. We helped to carry the gear inside and we already
talked gear by then. 20 minutes after Michales arrival Kåre and Carl
from Copenhagen arrived and we also helped them with their gear. Now we
could start the meeting...
Karl had brought his laptop which was filled with weird drum samples and
he shined through the sound-scapes with his incredible cool wah-effect
on his 10-string Stick. His Stick is just so beautiful. I've never seen
such piece of wood. Old but in 100% mint condition...
Kåre brought his new 10-string Stick. A very nice instrument made of
very dark Rosewood. Yummi... It's got the new Extended-scale, dual-flaps
and the new fret-rails. Besides his new Stick he also brought an old Vox
amp, a very nice stick-combo actually. That Vox-amp had a very cool
built-in distortion-effect.
Michael, arrived with his gear-inferno...Stick, fretless GL-Bass,
Ashbury bass and so on.... He had A LOT inside his red van. Besides all
his gear he also brought his new demo from his band "Superhead", pretty
cool sound with a lot of evil growls and heavy de-tuned guitar-riffs.
Rock on man.....!
Mathias and Peter arrived late saturday afternoon after a trip with very
HIGH intensity. I surely hope that the trip back to Copenhagen was a bit
more quiet.! Mathiasbrought his vintage-Stick and his home-made
aluminium-guitar, a very cool creation. I think he'll be into a lot of
adjusting and tapping in near future...
Lennart was very active all weekend. He taught us how to do walking
bass-lines, 7-chords and also enjoyed discussing different techniques
for the Stick. He brought his new rack with lots of effects, slave-amp
and of course our belowed Stick Preamp from Rane. Thanks to Lennart
(and Jonna) we all ate ourselves fat saturday evening on spaghetti and
the nice home-made meat-sauce. Lennart is as you might imagine the stick
"guru" of us all, nice to have one to ask for advice. Keep jamin'
mon...!
I was, as always, to find on the sofa, -it was some very exhausting
days ;-) I demonstrated my effect-rack and my new Line6 loop-pedal.
I don't know how, but something happened with my G-Major, but I think
it solved itself later that day. I also brought my 6-stringed fretless
Mørch-bass so that the other Stickists could see a real bass! :-) I
also took some cd's along with me and some music-dvd's for entertainment
in the breaks.
The weather was briiliant and so was the surroundings, it couldn't have
been better. I surely hope that all who was attending our meeting got
as much input as I did.. Thanks a lot for a cozy Stick Meeting. See you
tapping-freaks next year...!
"Don't forget Bob..." -and rock on!
Greetings from Lennart & Peter
